Red Foxes 🦊 A Year on Planet Earth: Winter

yaaaay thank you for letting me write about my special guy

"Captain Pierce please report to the, er, mess tent. That's Captain Pierce to the mess tent please."

Hawkeye furrows his brow, feeling as confused as the announcement is by the sound of it. He wonders if this is a mistake. He's been summoned to the CO's office, to post-op, to the women's shower, to the men's shower, to a hearing, one time even to mass when they needed an extra wise man for nativity play rehearsals. However, he can't say he's ever been summoned to the mess tent. This is a new low, even for the army, summoning a man to finish the remains of a meal declared legally dead.

percy i was not aware of the big orange moose previously but i am so happy to be aware of him now. damn he's big. and orange. and moose. what an accurate name. big big fan of this guy

here are some sleepover jammies for you, in case you forgot to bring yours

thanks friend!

21. What's something that surprised you while you were working on a fic? Did it change the story?

Oooooh this is a great question and yes! I got asked this question by two people actually so I will use one example here and the other in the next one, haha. But:

I got into this one a bit in this ask in answer to a different question but, while I only mentioned one of them there, I have two Hawkahy fics that were supposed to be PWP oneshots but I couldn't get myself to let them just be that. My brain kept wanting to add more context and more background and so they've both become a part of a completely different and much longer slowburn longfic that I'm working on!

One of them is your classic everyone huddling for warmth in The Swamp type of things and the other is a Song of Songs inspired body worship thing, and I'm really proud of both of them and I hate that I can't just share them lmfao. But I'm hoping the longfic will be worth it 🙏🏻

Beads of light sprang across Jamie's vision, spilling out from the bright centre of the light set into the ceiling. Most lights in the TARDIS were white, cold and clinical - but this one was golden, pulsing softly every once in a while, like it drew its power from a candle rather than a bulb. The fireplace flickering beside him added its own orange tint, casting shades of brown over the heather-green carpet. For all his eccentricities, all the time he spent clattering around laboratories or building sand-castles or wandering onto spaceships - Jamie had never been able to shake the sense that the Doctor was a gentleman. Some sort of laird, just without the land and the tacksman and the tenants. He would scoff and turn his nose up at the rich and vain and powerful, for sure, but his study wouldn't have been too out of place in a big house from Jamie's time. It might have been stuffed full of alien samples and gadgets Jamie couldn't have figured out in a million years, but so much of it was familiar. The panelled walls and the ornate armchairs and the fine wooden desk. Strangest of all was the fact that Jamie /liked/ it. He could have been anywhere, after all. The TARDIS was nearly infinite. But here he was, lying on his back on the plush carpet, fighting to keep his eyes open against the light. Of course, it helped that the Doctor was in here, too.

a bit of the soulmate au I'm working on for you!! (sooo close to having this one done actually..... I only have two more sections to write)

but also this was just. me having fun with describing the doctor's study. my image of it has always been super influenced by the doctor who adventure game, of all things (does anyone else remember that hdjkhgkf). but I really like the idea of the doctor having a very vintage-y study, like this little warm cosy refuge from the futuristic parts of the tardis.

and I /do/ think they present themselves as a gentleman, no matter how much they might dislike the association!! the privilege and superiority complex of the time lords is super interesting to me, especially in relation to two as he's just starting to learn to break away from that. & I think it's interesting in terms of jamie as well, as he'd be well-placed to both identify it and see the irony in it. it's sort of another aspect of him keeping two in check and influencing the morality/sense of self that he'll carry forward into future incarnations.
